Some Plugin Issues With Wordpress 2.5

The main problem is, though, that it’s not bad enough to crash the blog, or trigger the function that disables plugins if they’re not performing properly. Okay, so maybe not crashing the blog is a good thing… 
But when I go to edit my widgets, there’s a fatal error listed that makes it almost impossible to rearrange the widgets on the sidebar. The whole thing appears to be the FireStats plugin, which is rather disappointing, simply due to the fact that it’s what I use for analyzing stats on all of my sites. Needless to say, if I can’t find a solution to this, I’m going to need to rethink my continued use of the plugin.
Unfortunately, though, it doesn’t appear that there is a new version. I’ll do a little more investigation and post a follow up on this. But if you’re considering the plugin, and you’re using Wordpress 2.5, you might want to reconsider.

I’ve been looking for a stats package to use withing WordPress. Currently using the slimStat plugin, but am not so crazy about the GUI. Firestats looks a little nicer. I’m wondering what kind of impact it would have on performance though. Any thoughts between the two.

Megapixels: If you’re not going to be doing a lot of editing of the widgets in your sidebar, Firestats is great. And if you do need to change something, just disable the plug-in for a minute or two and then re-enable it when done with the editing.
Thanks for your feedback. It’s very much appreciated.
